The rain stayed away for the whole of Dumyat Hill Race but the mud didn’t. Now I know why it’s part of the Bog and Burn series. And why fell running shoes are a good idea.
Winner Male – Tom Martyn, Hunters Bog Trotters in 35.17
Winner Female – Christina Rankin, Kilbarchan in 41.43
Andrew Normand was first Carnethy in 36:56 followed by James Waldie (running for Edinburgh Uni) in 37.12. Iain Gilmore continued the family tradition by being first Stirling student in 39.47 and was interviewed at the end . He then dashed off to play in the second half of a football tournament match final.
